"Our tribe travels to and from the great river, trades with the tribes on both sides of the river, exchanges our tribe's things for what other tribes lack, and other tribes' own things for what their own tribes lack, and your tribe can also trade with our tribe." Lu Ran struggled to understand the meaning of "transaction" as the leader of Pegasus.

"Get what our tribe is missing?" The Pegasus leader had already understood the meaning of "trade", and then asked with a gesture, "What do you tribes have to exchange?" ”

The eagle looked at the three clansmen again, and the three clansmen took the things they had brought for Lu Ran Wu Kang and put them in front of the two of them.

"This is our tribe's weapon, they are a little worse than that (bronze sword), they are still very sharp." Wu Kang waved a few copper spears and copper axes, while Lu Ran gestured with both hands to explain to the leader of Pegasus.

Finally, the rattan shields carried by the two of them were used to verify the power of the copper spear and copper axe.

The leader of the Pegasus tribe and the onlookers were surprised by the power of the copper spear and the copper axe, and after the surprise, they did not have any other ideas, the nomadic tribe likes to use sabers, the power of the copper spear and the copper axe is great, but changing the habit of using the copper spear and the copper axe will make them awkward, and it takes a lot of time to get familiar with an unfamiliar weapon.

If Lu Ran Wu Kang could take out the bronze knife, I am afraid that the people of the Pegasus tribe would not be so calm.

The copper spear and copper axe Pegasus tribe don't need it, and the vine shield Pegasus tribe doesn't need it, Lu Ran and Wu Kang are a little worried, these three commodities are very popular, how can they come to the grassland tribe to become like this, now Lu Ran and Wu Kang only have two goods left in their hands, and they are also considered gifts to the tribes who trade with them, a small bag of white salt and a small bag of pepper powder.

A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and Lu Ran took out the last two goods.

Lu Ran dipped his fingers in a little white salt and peppercorn powder and ate them, making a look of enjoyment, and then invited the people of the Pegasus tribe to taste them.

The leader of the Pegasus pointed to a member of his clan to come forward and taste it.

"Salt! Chief, this is salt! The clansman who had tasted a little white salt immediately shouted.

What is most important for a nomadic tribe or even for all tribes?

Salt!

Without salt, people become weak and barely able to move, but grazing or even fighting is impossible.

Hearing the words of the clansmen, the leader of the Pegasus immediately stepped forward and went to taste the white salt himself.

The Pegasus tribe lacks salt, and the only salt that is there can't even catch up with the impurity salt, but the salt soil, through which the people of the Pegasus tribe draw a little salt to supply themselves.

Tasting the taste of white salt, the Pegasus leader was extremely excited, the taste of white salt was only one of them, if a large amount of salt could be obtained through this tribe, it would be too important for the Pegasus tribe.

"Our tribe needs it." The Pegasus leader gestured to a small bag of white salt.

Lu Ran pointed to the small bag of white salt, stretched out ten fingers of his hands, then pointed to a big horse, paused, and pointed to a big cow.

The meaning expressed by Lu Ran is very simple, that is, a big horse or a big cow can be exchanged for ten small bags of white salt.

Under normal circumstances, a small bag of white salt in a pound is enough for an adult to eat for three months, if you save some food, you can even eat for half a year, like the salt amount of the Pegasus tribe, I am afraid that a small bag of salt is enough for an adult to eat for more than a year.

The Pegasus tribe has only a few people, only more than 600 people, even if they all eat white salt, it is more than 500 catties a year, and 500 catties of white salt can only be exchanged for 50 big cattle or horses.

The Pegasus leader looked at the small bag of white salt, then at the cow and the horse, wondering if the deal would be viable.

The leader also went to the witch to discuss, and finally agreed to this exchange ratio, and now it depends on how much white salt the Pegasus tribe will exchange.

"How much salt you have, our tribe wants it." The Pegasus Leader said.

Lu Ran and Wu Kang glanced at each other, they didn't know how much white salt the fleet carried, compared to weapons, the sales of white salt were not good, and the fleet probably wouldn't bring too much white salt.

In fact, white salt is very important to each tribe, but weapons are more important, and when the weapons are satisfied, other tribes will exchange some white salt and peppercorn powder.

"Honorable chief, we need to return to bring you white salt, right on the shore." Lu Ran said.

"Yes." The leader gestured to the eagle, and then said to the eagle: "Eagle, you take people to watch them, and if there is an accident, return immediately." ”

"Okay."

Lu Ran, Wu Kang, Xiongying and the previous three Pegasus tribesmen, a group of six people left the Pegasus tribe's residence and walked towards the river bank, Lu Ran and Wu Kang were still empty-handed, copper spears, copper axes, rattan shields, a small bag of white salt, and a small bag of pepper powder were all given to the Pegasus leader as gifts.

When they were still more than 20 zhang away from the river, the four eagles stopped.

"We're waiting for you here." The eagle gestured as he feared danger from getting too close to the fleet.

Lu Ran and Wu Kang didn't care whether the four people of the Pegasus tribe followed or not, it was a normal person's choice not to fall into danger, that is, they, the personnel of the Ministry of Commerce, took some risks to contact unfamiliar tribes.

Returning to the head boat, Lu Ran and Wu Kang quickly reported the matter of the Pegasus tribe to Lu Yuan.

The general situation of the Pegasus tribe is clear, the population is only a few hundred, and the strength of the first trade fleet can completely wipe out the Pegasus tribe.

The strength is enough, but the Pegasus tribe is a nomadic tribe, but it can run away if it can't be beaten, and if you want to exchange for cattle and horses, you can only trade with the Pegasus tribe, and when the dragon tribe has enough horses to form a cavalry force, the dragon tribe will come to the grassland to fight those nomadic tribes.

Lu Ran and Wu Kang stayed on the head boat for the time being, and Lu Yuan ordered the others to bring over most of the white salt carried by the fleet.

White salt is only a secondary commodity, and the amount carried is not much, and in the end only more than 230 catties are gathered, and some of them are left for the people of the fleet to eat.

Two hundred and thirty catties, you can only exchange for twenty-three cattle and horses, which is a bit less, and you can only wait for more cattle and horses to be traded later.

Lu Ran, Wu Kang, plus the guards of the three fleets, did not carry weapons, not even rattan armor, one person carried a bag of fifty catties of white salt off the boat, Wu Kang took the thirty catties of the bag, thinking that the Pegasus tribe did not have pottery, just with a stone bowl and a leather bag, Wu Kang left with a pottery bowl and a clay pot.

The five people of the Dragon Tribe walked towards the four people of the Pegasus Tribe, and when they saw that there were five people, the four Eagles showed caution, if it weren't for the fact that the five members of the Dragon Tribe did not carry weapons, the four Eagles would leave or draw their bows and shoot at the five members of the Dragon Tribe.

"Put down the white salt, you go back first." Wu Kang said to the three clansmen.

The three clansmen put down the three bags of white salt, turned around and left, and the four eagles saw that only Lu Ran and Wu Kang were left, and rode their horses over.
